      The speech by the Brazilian foreign minister at @heritage could have been delivered by a US campus conservative as a PragerU, complaining about the media, globalist system, etc. It's been an endless screed of victimhood from someone in power.

      Yep, Araujo now complaining about the evil left wanting to take red meat away from us.

      "Social justice" is only "a pretext for dictatorship," says Araujo. Now they want to do the same with climate change, he adds. "Brazil is being Otherized." He's firing shots across the bow ahead of a politically fraught week at the UN later this month.

      Concluding statement: "The Amazon is ground zero in the fight against globalism and the recovery of human dignity [or was it soul?]."

      There's a fascinating disconnect between US right and whatever it is Araujo represents: The latter truly sees his politics as a reaction to a left-wing orthodoxy (hence all the snarling at Lacan, Lukacs, and all the other leftist intellectuals he name-checked.)

      Beyond its moping about campus leftists, the American right would never care about these people or engage their ideas (however absurdly) in a foreign policy speech. Araujo offered a distinction between Leninism and Stalinism, as if anyone in @heritage gives a damn.

      I'm not sure that's right. At least among the paleo-cons & alt-right, obsessing over cultural Marxism and gender theory is a big big thing.

      Maybe, but they don't actually *read* these texts and try to position themselves within (late 20th century) leftist intellectual discourse. That's what Araujo seemed to be doing.

      No, most of what they "know" about cultural Marxism is anti-Semitic myth. I take it that Araujo is more informed.

      I think part of the reason is that Brazil has a larger left leaning tradition than US. So engaging with certain authors feels important. And they have a strong need for intelectual validation that I don’t think their American counterparts have. Also most of the Brazilian altright

      Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
